Abstract
Growth of Neurospora sitophila on alkaline effluents from rutabaga, potato, and peach processing operations was studied. Submerged fermentation at 30 C reduced COD values from 42 to 68% of initial values for peeling wastes and from 17 to 25% in rinse wastes after 4 days. This procedure for reducing COD would be of interest as a pretreatment technique for use in processing plants discharging into municipal treatment systems. The total amino acid content of potato effluent biomass was nearly quadrupled, whereas the total amino acid content of peach effluent was doubled after 1 day of fermentation.
